I do agree that they will ultimately choose when they leave on the current trajectory. Re the “caveman” tactics, is it worth getting a criminal record over their ownership? MoH
It is possible that he didn't realise what a major a **** up he had made until he was too far in, only at that point would he need to look for a way to get his money back. He spent the first period of his ownership crying like a bitch about what a strain it was on his (and his wifes) family fortune, as he later admitted.
Aye, on just about everthing, as I made it clear I didn't agree with everything. I don' think (would need to look back and...) It seemed more innocuous and less personal, just a general expression.
"Indian giver" is an American expression, used to describe a person who gives a "gift" and later wants it back, or who expects something of equivalent worth in return for the item. [1] It is based on cultural misunderstandings that took place between early European explorers (like Lewis and Clark)[2] and the Indigenous people with whom they traded. Often the Europeans would view an exchange of items as gifting, believing they owed nothing in return to the Natives who were generous with them, while the Indigenous people saw the exchange as a form of trade or equal exchange, so had differing expectations of their guests. [2] The phrase is still in colloquial use to describe a negative act or shady business dealings
Perhaps quite a few, as that is what I have picked up off here - rightly or wrongly. It's definitely not a mischievous take on things. Communication, what a bugger that is, hey...
The potential buyer offered two prices for Hull City and the SMC. One with the freehold and one without. The price without the freehold was less, fairly substantially less, than the debts the Allams paid off. If they had sold without the freehold they would have been millions of pounds out of pocket. The price with the freehold would have netted them a huge profit. OLM received an e-mail as part of the CTWD committee suggesting the Allams had two potential sales that fell through because they didn't have the freehold. You pays your money and you take your choice. I'm convinced he had a sale lined up when he bought the club, all he needed was the freehold.
Maybe it was someone who knew the Council wouldn’t deal with. Allam is arrogant enough to reckon he can do a deal that others can’t. I also know nothing btw - pure speculation!
